Class of 2017 SG Ethan Thompson (CA) to Oregon State

[Francis03]

Son of Stevie Thompson. Most likely will join pops and big bro at Oregon St. Can't have enough options though and who knows if Ethan would like to blaze his own path.:noidea:

Lots of fun to see clips of ET. Like having the blueprints and watching the building go up. Smooth inside, plenty of bounce ... this generation might add a dangerous outside shot!

 

[jdubs30]

Lol I saw all the west coast offers then I saw ours and I was like What? we never go after west coast kids

then I realized who his dad was!

 

[rackman18]

I like the offer. I would love him to play for us but I too believe he will play for dad and older brother.

 

[Brooky03]

Well let's offer Stevie a spot on the staff and get Ethan to come with. My 2 cents.




... Then the NCAA will investigate and give us the death penalty because that's probably, and illogically, a violation of some sort.

"I'm thrilled that they offered you son. But don't you dare go there!"

 

[Nicknack]

I remember watching Stevie Thompson when I was just a freshman living in Day Hall. He was one of the most electrifying players I've ever seen wear orange. Absolutely loved his athleticism and talent. If Ethan doesn't become a Beaver, I sure would love for him to come here!

 

[LPOrange]

JAB once had an in home visit with Bryce Drew while he was in HS and his dad, Homer Drew, was the coach of Valparaiso. Bryce wound up playing for his dad, of course. That would make an awkward recruiting trip - having a competing school's coach sitting across the dining room table.

 

[Deano]

I think Francis noted this a few weeks ago, when he was playing in that AAU tourney on TV, that it would really, really hard to pry him away from dad and Oregon State.

 

[DownTheField]

This might be a weird question but is it against NCAA rules for Stevie to tell a reporter he hopes Ethan chooses Oregon State?

Ethan Thompson brings back the old visions of his father Steve

It'll be fine, as long as the fraud doesn't pass through the athletic department.

I guess Dad isn't pointing to us as much as we hoped if Oregon State is the likely end point.

Wouldn't dad point to himself first?

 

[MSOrange]

Wouldn't dad point to himself first?

Oh no it's definitely alma mater over employer in the priority list

 

[rackman18]

I would love to get this kid. He's a great shooter.

 

[CaliCuse]

It depends on what he feels is best for his son,not himself personally The kids come first in these kind of decisions. They were in my family but thats not the norm,I suppose.

Interesting live period note. Hopkins has been at all of ET's games so far at the Peach Jam. He must think that he has a legit shot to pull him away from the west coast and his old man over at Oregon St.

Or, gotta guess that MOM was a good shooter?
